The welding work looks good; got the job done.

Can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years! Over the last 6 months finally got the move done and garage set up so have had a chance to get some stuff going again. Pines to Spines 4” SFD painted and ready to go: Driver’s strut tower - product of wet leaves collecting and behind and under air box: and fixed (though welding won’t win any beauty contests): Once the SFD is installed the front end will get rebuilt- new PS pump, rebuilt CVs, etc and onto the sheet metal on the windshield surround snd the rear end: it sure had been great to get back to working on the truck. Going to get my 3 yo going on it with me soon - every day he asks if we can fix the truck!

The Sealight bulbs in my Pathfinder are replacements for the 9004 halogens and they are much better. They do have some interesting patterns on walls but on the road do a better job. They are listed as 6000k. To me they are a cold white. I see better in the higher end of the spectrum, so works for me much better than the warmer light from the halogens. Same thing with the Hikari bulbs in the Sorento. They have a good pattern and are more white than the halogens, so I see better with them. I went with the $40 Hikari rather than the higher end ones, because I am cheap and my research led me to believe that the difference was not worth the extra money. My brother put the Hikari Ultras in his Armada, and they don't seem to be any better than the "Eye of Megatron" units I got. With the Sorento, it was an easy decision since I would only get about 9 months out of the H7 low beam bulbs anyway. Got over a year so far with the LEDs and they were only about $10 more for the pair than the halogens. Pathfinder has had her Sealight bulbs for about 6 months so far and no issues.
